Hrithik Roshan held a special screening of the film Kites for his new best mate in the industry, Shah Rukh Khan. Held late on Sunday night, SRK was Roshan’s only guest.
It is believed that Roshan wanted some marketing tips from Khan, as well as wanted to get his genuine opinion on the movie.
“SRK liked the movie a lot, and told Hrithik the same. There were certain suggestions he gave him for the film promotion as well as the premieres the Roshans are planning all over the world,” says the source, “Khan is an actor and also a producer. So, he knows how to think like a businessman too. And that’s why Hrithik wanted to talk to him. The film has already gone well over budget, and now, the people behind it want to make sure that it is a resounding success internationally as well.”
A couple of weeks back, Hrithik had openly suggested that he would like marketing tips from Aamir and Shah Rukh.
"I don't know about the strategy and the marketing side of films. I'm still young in that space and still need to learn from my seniors and people who have inspired me, like Shah Rukh and Aamir," he was quoted saying.
The Hrithik-starrer Kites releases on May 21. The film also stars international actress Barbara Mori and Bollywood actress Kangna Ranaut. It is believed that the film will have two versions – one for India and a racier version for the West. Premieres are being planned for Dubai, London and Mumbai.
